Introducing Lafayette
Lafayette has been blighted by sprawl and its accompanying traffic, but if you stick to the historic downtown, this friendly city opens up like an oyster. History blends with live local music and world-class cooking, and small-town Acadiana is 15 minutes away in any direction (just not at rush hour).
